CAUSE OF DEATH: Robots
The first human fatality due to robots was recorded in 1979. One Robert Williams, a factory worker in a Ford plant in Michigan, was killed when the arm of a robot designed to retrieve parts from storage struck him in the head.
Urada Kenji, a Kawasaki engineer who died in 1981, is often cited as the first person to be killed by robot attack. While performing maintenance on a robot, he was pushed into a grinding machine by the robot's arm. Some idiot had forgot to deactivate it while it was been tinkered with, and it clearly didn't take too kindly to some flesh-bag interfering with it.
Robots are a threat, I tell you. I pray to Metal Jesus that he shows us mercy.

That's a disturbing trend. Next thing you know, we'll be living out that Will Smith movie.
You mean that one where he's a fish? Christ, I hope not.
